So to sum up, the word 'wounded' can be applied in 2 key ways:
- First is the breaking or penetrating of the tissue (or in the teapots case, its exterior) which can be seen as Physically Wounded
- Or, to insult, be unfair or cruel, causing harm to feelings, etc. which can be seen as Emotionally Wounded
